The problem is two-faceted:

1. Windows looking at Linux files requires that Samba be running on your
linux system.  Check "man smb.conf" for more on setting up samba.

2. Linux looking at windows files requires that the SMB file system
(provided by the smbfs module) be mounted with the smbmount command.  
smbmount is part of the Samba package, but doesn't require any setup other
than having a mount point directory created for the remote windows file
system.  See "man smbmount"

BTW, what was the fix to your ping problem?
